Why Auto-Reframing Matters for Short-Form Video
Most long-form content — podcasts, webinars, YouTube videos — is recorded in 16:9 landscape format. But TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts all require 9:16 vertical video. Simply cropping the center of a landscape video cuts off speakers, misses important visual content, and looks unprofessional.
LongToShortClips's AI Auto-Format solves this with intelligent face tracking and dynamic reframing. The AI identifies the active speaker in each frame and automatically pans the crop window to keep them perfectly centered — even when they move around or when the active speaker changes in multi-person conversations.
How AI Face Tracking Works
Our computer vision model detects faces in every frame of your video and tracks their position over time. When a single person is speaking, the 9:16 crop stays locked on them. During multi-speaker segments, the AI either focuses on the active speaker (detected via audio) or creates a split-screen layout showing both participants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does auto-reframing work with screen share content?
Yes. When the AI detects screen share content (e.g., slides, code, demos), it intelligently balances showing the speaker and the screen content, often using a picture-in-picture layout.
Can I manually adjust the crop position?
The AI handles cropping automatically for maximum efficiency. For most creators, the AI-selected framing produces better results than manual cropping because it dynamically adjusts frame-by-frame.
